ARCHIVED PROJECTS

The GRDC invested in a late sown cereal project in 2022 led by Stirlings to Coast Farmers and collaborating with South East Premium Wheat growers Association (SEPWA), and the Fitzgerald Biosphere Group (FBG). Nutrien Ag Solutions are also partners in the project and will grow and manage replicated trials at two sites in the Albany Port Zone.

The falling numbers test conducted on wheat assists in identifying its quality for bread-making. Low falling numbers result in down grading of wheat at receival. This is a critical issue for all growers in WA with varieties exhibiting different propensities for low falling numbers.

This project provides opportunities to explore ways of increasing the resilience of our farming systems.

This project is a continuation of the One Paddock Challenge funded by State NRM. The objective of the 2020 program will be to work with up to eight farmers in the Jerramungup Shire to conduct on-farm, paddock-scale trials that have the potential to improve productivity in the region.

This project will focus on control of a number of environmental weeds in Bremer Bay, including two weeds of national significance: boxthorn and bridal creeper.

This project will complement the State NRM funded project: Strategic Weed Control in Bremer Bay and the Regional Land Partnership work on Victorian (Coastal) Tea Tree.
